From Our Thursday Friday.
WAS WILLIAM or BACON
THE AUTIIOBI
Lincoln, y. NJ.
July Bird, 81.

DEAR MAJAf:
Twenty years ago the q" Bacon
ian Theory was met by either a
frown or smile Of derision ; now
mathematical calculation has in
serted itself into the argument,
and, who knows but that ~!gnacius
Donnclly NAV yet prove a literary
wizard, so to speak, possessing the
most perfect faculty Of pure critl-
cism from the wonderful power OF
penetration the proof Of his theory
would establish.
Twelve years ago, | became a
convert to the Baconian Theory"
and solely through my inyestiga
ton OF the works Of Bacon, con-
temporancously with my most
thorough reading OF Shakespeare.
OF course | added the obinions %
others, principally those Of Mr..
Holmes, who has written quite
learnodly, though fallaciously, up
on the subject and a Mrs. Bacon
of Missouri, whose deductions are
so very illogical and destitute Of
philosophical accuracy, that my
then new ideas on the subject were
somewhat shaken.
Initially, | took the humble lad
of Avon, considered, as impartially
as possible, the best advantage OF
his opportunities, educational, so
cial and professional, and l con
Guided Shakespeare to have had
but such an education, literary
training, advantages OF associa-
tionsa and inclination as we Of to-day
would consider very meagre.
His b~iographers have strained
the most sensitive phases Of char
acter to allow him the knowledge
necessary to his work, but that Sc
verify rather destroys the reason
than maintains it's business. HIS
familiarity with legal phrases and
procedure Of his time, allows his
editors to 'think" and give an
"~opinion" that he was in some
way at some uncertain period OF
his life, employed in an imaginary
capacity about the Office Of q myth
zeal LAWYER.
The most impartial and Just hi
ographer Of Shakespeare is Alex
andor Chalmers, and the very hon
esty and sincerity OF that gentle
mans work on this subject, "Opens
the ifood-gates of doubt SO wide,
hat it is difficult for a thinking
man to close them-if at all.
Not to continue an Introduction,
already long, to a subject SO famil-
lar to all, | will discover to you a
few Of the words ascribad to Shake
speare and the which have driven
me from his shrine, to worship at
the altar Of Bacon.
Passing over many delicate
points, we reach the thirty eighth
sonnet, in which the writer plainly
apostrophiscs to his literary credi-
tor:
GLOW can my muse want subject ts
invent,
Whilst thou doSt breathe, that pour'st in
to my verse,
Thine own sweet argument, too excel
lent
For every vulgar paper to lchearsc %
Evidently some use has been
made of a person through whom
to reach the public, for it was
then unpopular at cour TO be a
" scribblng slave
Continuing, in the some sonnet,
our author says, Of his medium:

Again in canto fortieth
Take aIl my loves, my love, yea, take
them ollr'
And,
81 do forgive Thy robbery, gentle thief
Although thou teal thee all my property
And yet love knows, ills greater grief
To bear loves wrong, than hates known
injury.

The palpablo hit oyincod in and
by the foregoing, is so glafngly
manifest, that the envy, vanity and
restraint Of some person, in the
writer, r all combating the cir
cumstances which surround INN
and cause him to even cast a stone
at his only mediator with the favor
OF mankind.
Again passing many insiduous
passages that could easily, though
delicately, be used with force to
favor the ante-Shakespeare idea OF
authorship, | take up the seventy
sixth sonnet. which fairly pro
claims Bacon, it is so fulsome {;
"Why write | still all one, ever the amt
And keep invention on a noted weed,
That every word doth almost tell my
name,

Probably no words in Shake
spcare are so full of eXtrancous
meaning as the last quoted That

tatiye presumption, denies the

Ship, as the quotation does most
pointedly. The "noted weed"
whoever wore it, was the judicial
gown worn only by the law Judges
of the time, hence the certainty
Of legal knowledge, which certain
ty will surely not be credited to
Shakespeare.
Stanza eighty one, savers of a
psychological nature much after
the ideas Of Bacon, and IN which
he follows Aristotle, and Bacon
is the most intimate follower OF
Aristotle who has ever lived.
Canto eighty two begins most
poignantly

most Of them persisted for want Of care
The Aleuts, being accustomed to a diet of
fish, did not relish milk or flesh. and re-

were kept in corners used for storing salm-

the poles on which the fish were suspended
and trampled them mderfoot; while pigs
undermined the natives huts by scratching
out the earth in search for refuse, and
goats climbed on the roofs and tore away
the thatch.
The cattle sent to Alaska during the
Russian occupation, were Of the hardest
Siberian stock; but even in 1885, the
herds seldom mustered more than twenty
head, though beef cattle are often sent
from San Francisco to fatten on the
Aleutian Islands, and are slaughtered IN
October. Horses and mules are of course
little valued in a territory where as in
Venice, travel is almost entirely by water

If there is any one thing of which lone
is proud it is her public schools. She has
an elegant two-story brick building, Il
splendid cut of which appears in this is
sue. The Principal of the school is Pro-
fessor George F. Mack, an accomplished
educator, than whom there is no better in
the State. Mr. Mack commenced teaching
at Placervile, in Fl Dorado county, more
than score of years ago. for several years
was Principal Of the schools in the town
of Truckee, and for number of years has
presided over the schools of lone City. At
the last election he was elected Superin-
tendent of Schools of Amador county, the
people of lone voting for him almost
unanimously, regardless Of politics. His
assistants, two in number, are Mrs. T. p
Stewart and Mrs. LaGraye, both compc-
tent and experienced teachers.

= The race-track has been made this wear.

dent, {. S. Gregory This gentleman, a
leading merchant in lone, has State
reputation, having served with credit
Amador county in the halls of legislation.
With him there IS no such word as fail
and when he put his shoulder TO the wheel
the success of the institution was assured.
The track lies half mile east of the
depot, was laid ont by JAS c. Pierson. a
civil engineer, from Sacramento, who has
had much experience in that line, and is
what is termed
A REGULATION MILE TRACK.
Those who are competent to Judge claim
that 1t has no superior in the State The
grand and special stands, stalls for stock,
exhibition and parade grounds are all first
class. The finish of the buildings, the
character OF the inclosure, the style in
which all are finished is indicative of good
taste and 4 large outlay of money. The
Pavilion is large building, in town-on
Sacramento street-and well lighted.
There are many reasons why lone is the
best place for the holding OF the
annual fairs in this District. In
the first place, it has railroad communica-
tion with all parts Of the State, is only a
few hours ride from Sacramento. Stockton
or the bay cities; stock and articles for ex-
hibition can be handled with she least
difficulty and at the most trifing expense.
In the second place, its hotel accommoda-
tions are first-class, and a large concourse
Of people can be taken care of.
There are other small valleys in the
neighborhood similar to lone. all rich in
fertility of soil, and fields of coal Artesian
water enables the people 10 have green
crops throughout the year talthouah all
the fruits and cereals flourish without irri
CATION, and have perpetual blooming
flowers around their generally ele-
CANT residences, and altogether the peo-
pie may feel proud of their homes
as well as their history. 4 great
wave of prosperity is surely coming, and
when it does come, and home-seekers be-
gin to recognize the true value of the
foothill lands, Amador county will expe-
rience an era of progress far in advance Of
any vet recorded in her history.

The RBcoRD-UNIoN has undertaken a
work attempted by no other journal upon
the coast, that of writing up the resources
Of that greatest of all countries upon the
face of the earth, Northern and Central
California. This is the tenth of the
series which appear weekly in this journal,
and which, it is believed, will do more to-
ward building up this section of the State
than anything so far attempted by the
press. Heretofore articles have generally
related TO an entire county, the data for
which has been gathered by competent
representatives of this journal, who have
visited the sections described and have be-
come acquainted with the people thor
eughly conversant with the resources and
possibilities. No exaggeration is made An
entirely truthful statement will better
serve the purpose of attracting attention
to the superior advantages possessed by
this most favored section. This week We
speak of Amador county, and find It's

As the aliuyial lands of the valley have
